Conrad,
I think that your question is that you want to access
the enumeration list from the attribute element of a DocumentType to
being able to offer the enumeration elements in a list box.
As you discovered you can get the values set or the default values
by using something similar to:
case Node.ELEMENT_NODE:
.
NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes();
String nodeName;
String nodeValue;
for( ( int i = 0; i< attributes.getLength();i++ ){
Node current = attributes.item(i);
current.getNodeName();
current.getNodeValue();
.
Unfortunately there isn't any DOM API calls to at this time to get DTD
information. DOM 3 will have such APIs.
Another way to do this I believe is through the use of the SAX 2
DeclHandler.
Hope this helps,

Please tell me how do I get the elements of an enumeration attribute. For
e.g if I have Attrbute prty (odd|even) "odd". the parser gives me the
value
that is set or that is defalutt(if it is not set). However I need all the
numeration elements because I want to add them to a list box so that a user
can choose an option.
